Some days things don’t go as expected and if you are like me, you have the tendency to get agitated with things and then you get upset and sometimes things that are just small inconveniences turn into overblown crises.
Today I had car trouble, and often I would be stressed about it, but somehow I was able to look at things with a more grateful mindset. Sure it sucked and depending on what my mechanic finds it could be expensive and much more inconvenient but I did get home safely. That got me to thinking about other good things that were going on.
As a result of this reflection, I decided to make some origami cranes with the gold and silver paper that I had from earlier. The crane is the “bird of happiness” and has meanings of peace and luck. I was feeling lucky today and choosing to be happy about all the blessings that I have.
